Acadia National Park is a short drive. Dining, nightlife, parks, movie theatre, etc. are all within walking distance. The motel is modest but quiet, quaint, and clean. The staff is friendly and professional. The room has a mini fridge and a microwave, and there is fresh fruit, hot coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate, bottled water, and breakfast treats (bars, oatmeal, granola bars) available all day and late into the night.

Light bulbs burned out in bathroom, told front desk and staff cleaners, never replaced it, did not empty trash at all and asked for clean sheets as the card instructed but nothing done. A bit disappointed for what they charged

The location of the motel is great, right in downtown Bar Harbor and close to the national park. Parking was easy right outside our room. The motel offers free coffee, water, tea, and snacks for guests in their lobby. I appreciated grabbing something quick for breakfast. The rooms are small and a little outdated but everything else about the place was great.
